In The Dog flat, Hannah fumes at the lads for their selfish behaviour, but when Nancy is forced to admit that she, too, was having an affair with Kris, Hannah's left not knowing who to side with.
Ravi's gutted to discover that he wasn't the only one playing away with Kris and his disappointment is compounded when Nancy reveals that she was falling in love with Kris. When all three finally realise that they only have themselves to blame, they begin to realise that their ignorance was bliss. With this in mind, Ravi dares to suggest that they carry on as they were - only without the deceit. The trio agree to sleep on it but are all left with an uneasy feeling about what's to come.
Darren's hoping for a bit of attention from Cindy but she can't bear the smell of toilets that follows him around. Darren goes back to work at the Dog to earn some extra cash in a bid to keep Cindy happy.
Whilst there, Rhys gloats about all the girls he's chatting up behind the bar and his superior position to Darren at The Dog. Darren takes the opportunity to douse Rhys in noxious aftershave and so when he returns to the bar, his pulling powers are drowned in his pungent whiff. Rhys unwittingly helps Darren to hit on an idea and he hurries home to Cindy, who is willing to forget about the smell so long as he's raking in the cash and sending it her way.
Justin and Hannah are clashing as they work together behind the SU bar, but it seems obvious to Elliot and Hayley that Justin's crazy about Hannah. Hannah dashes out to meet Nancy at The Dog, leaving Justin to man the bar alone. Elliot confronts Justin about his obvious crush on Hannah and points out that he's only being nasty to her because he can't have her. Justin denies it at first but is soon convinced that he should at least apologise for the way he is behaving towards her. He leaves Elliot and Hayley in charge of the bar and goes to The Dog but just as he gets there, Ash heads him off and humiliates him in front of Rhys.
Despondent, Justin heads back to work where he finds a slightly drunk Hayley handing out free bottles of beer. Justin sends both her and Elliot packing. Hannah realises that she has left Justin all alone at work and races back to the SU Bar but it's too late – Justin's already closed up and headed home alone.

Calvin heads to Il Gnosh, only to find Sasha and Warren together. He confides in Tony about his concerns and asks for Mandy's number to question her. Tony refuses but does admit that Louise told Mandy that Warren killed Sean Kennedy.

Whilst in the SU Bar together, Steph and Sarah spot posters for a rival dance class. The pair decide to attend the class and plot to poach the rival school's students at the end. Both, however, are more than surprised when Fernando, a drop dead gorgeous dance instructor, arrives to take his class. Sarah instantly fancies him but Steph is still annoyed, especially when Fernando berates her dancing.
Sarah's pleased to discover Fernando is her new dance lecturer and flirts with him. Steph is unnerved by how attractive Fernando is but is quick to point out that she's a qualified dance teacher when he criticises her. Fernando is impressed with Steph's passion and Steph, although still wary, can't help but be wooed by him.
Nancy is still torn between Ravi and Kris and can't decide which one she wants to be with, so surprises them by choosing both. The new arrangement is quick to cause arguments though with Ravi and Kris both wanting to spend time with Nancy that day. Nancy chooses Kris and the pair head The Dog on a date. Despite Kris promising Nancy he'll be discreet, he's soon telling anyone who'll listen about the three way relationship - including Rhys and Ash. Things are about to hot up between Nancy and Kris when Ravi arrives and gatecrashers the date.
An annoyed Nancy tries to draw up some rules but things start to become boring and regimented, which doesn't please Kris or Ravi. Nancy feels uncomfortable when Ravi kisses both her and Kris goodbye as he leaves, and the reality of her bizarre new relationship begins to dawn on her.
